Do you still get this error?

D:\XWin\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: 
cannot find -lfontconfig

If so, I don't see how fontconfig comes into play. It's not listed in
the libraries linked against. I don't know Code::Blocks, but maybe its
hidden behind some option in the IDE, of which you wouldn't expect
adding fontconfig to the libraries?
